Forget Black Friday – it's Black November! We're in the week leading up to the official 28th November Black Friday, and all the official office chair deals are already in.
In this article, I've used my list of my favourite office chairs to find the current best Black Friday chair deals, on nothing but the best chairs. I'm pretty sure that these deals won't be bettered over Black Friday, because they're mainly from the chair makers directly, not retailers like Amazon and Best Buy (who will release their deals later in the week).

FAQ
How much should I spend on an office chair?
For casual home use, you can find decent chairs in the $200-$400 / £150-£300 range that will serve you well. However, if you're sitting for extended periods daily, we'd recommend investing in a premium ergonomic chair in the $500-$1,000 / £400-£800 bracket instead. While these chairs are more expensive, they offer significantly better lumbar support, adjustability, and durability that can prevent back pain and last for years. Top-tier models from Herman Miller or HÅG can exceed $1,200 / £1,000, but they're built to last a decade or more with proper care. The key is to think of it as an investment in your health rather than just furniture. A good office chair can save you from expensive physiotherapy bills down the line.
What's the difference between a gaming chair and an ergonomic office chair?
The main differences between gaming chairs and ergonomic chairs come down to aesthetics. Gaming chairs typically feature bold colours, racing-style bucket seats, and a more aggressive look with high backrests and prominent branding. They often include features like reclining mechanisms and built-in lumbar cushions. Ergonomic office chairs, on the other hand, have understated designs, breathable mesh backs, and extensive adjustment options for armrests, seat depth, and lumbar support.
That doesn't mean, though, that gaming chairs can't be functional as well. Modern gaming chairs such as the Secretlab TITAN Evo have closed the gap considerably, offering genuine ergonomic benefits alongside their gaming aesthetic.
Do expensive office chairs actually make a difference?
Yes, this really is an example where you get what you pay for. A premium office chairs will genuinely make a substantial difference to your comfort and health, especially if you're sitting for six or more hours daily. High-end chairs from brands like Herman Miller and HÅG offer more granular adjustability to fit your specific body shape, better lumbar support that prevents back strain, and construction quality that maintains its support for years rather than sagging after months. If you're only sitting for an hour or two a day, a budget chair will suffice, but for full-time remote workers or office professionals, I'd always recommend you spend as much as you can afford.
